Here’s to being crazy kids, living all over the country, giving birth to two doppelgängers, getting gray hair and still being totally inappropriate….together. #timmynolans #firstdate.”
Morgan recalled in a post of his own, “12 years ago….met this one. Blind date. @jensenackles just knew he had the gal for me. Been with her ever since that night. In fact…two kids later… one 11 (do THAT math!) finally married… and never could [have] imagined this kind of happiness.”
